The Sun's mass is1.989 ×10^8 and it radiates at a rate of 3.827×10^23 kW.
a) From this data, assuming it converts all its mass into energy, what is the estimate the lifetime of the Sun?
b) Theoretical calculations predict the Sun's lifetime (in its current stage) to be about 5 billion years. During that time, what percentage of its mass will it lose?
When a star erupts in a supernova explosion, huge numbers of electron neutrinos are formed in nuclear reactions. Such neutrinos from the 1987A supernova in the relatively nearby Magellanic Cloud were observed within hours of the initial brightening, indicating they traveled to earth at approximately the speed of light. Explain how this data can be used to set anupper limit on the mass of the neutrino, noting that if the mass is small the neutrinos could travel very close to the speed of light and have a reasonable energy (on the order of MeV).
My question is that I don’t understand what happened in the second page from where it says we obtain:
I get how we got X but I don’t get how we get alpha in the first page and then use it in the second page till we get the final formula if you can please show me the steps of finding the final formula
